Rustic apricot galette

July 9, 2019 By travellingoven 4 Comments

Three words needed to improve your day? Rustic apricot galette! 😀 When you have a blog and want to post something, at times you feel pressure to write something incredibly smart or inspiring. And there are times when you actually do that. And sometimes it’s just….blank, you know. Not much to say or not something you want to share with the world  (ever or just yet) or you just don’t feel inspired. And sometimes you just want to post your photos whether it’s a travel story or a recipe or something third.

Many times I decided not to post for the very same reason, I felt like I don’t have the right words to accompany the photos or that nobody will be interested in what I have or don’t have to say. But you know what, I’ll try not to do that anymore and if I have a photo-story or a recipe or something I want to share, I’ll just do that. In the end, it’s my little corner of internet, right? And it makes me so happy to share it with you! 🙂

I do have in my plans to start writing some more personal posts too and different photo projects and I’m excited about that new chapter but this time it will be just a simple and very delicious Rustic apricot galette and I hope that’s ok!

I haven’t baked anything in a long time as it was way too hot for that and I’m so not a Summer type of person and my energy levels go down when it’s hot and humid. The last thing I want to do then is switch on the oven, add some more heat to my life and bake lol! 😀 But I got inspired by these lovely apricots I bought at a farmers’ market and immediately had a galette on my mind.

So even if I chose the worst possible day, probably the hottest so far this Summer with humidity going through the roof, I did it! Woke up early (read:very very early!) and few hours later I had photos of this beauty! I was pretty happy with how they turned out and the bonus was that I had a galette (with some vanilla ice cream on the side) that day for lunch. Let’s keep that a secret shall we? 😉

By the way, if you like desserts with apricots, I believe you’ll like this Apricot yogurt cake too so have a look… And now here is the recipe for galette and let me know if you try it out, I love hearing from you whether it’s here or on my social media pages! Oh, something else, the best thing about having the word ‘rustic’ in the name of your dessert is that it turns all of its flaws into something adorable and irresistible lol!

Author: Crust recipe adapted from Sally's baking addiction
Ingredients
  • For crust:
  • 1 and ½ cups spelt flour (or all-purpose)
  • 2 tbsp coconut sugar (or granulated)
  • pinch of salt
  • ½ cup (115 g) cold butter
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) cold water
  • 1 egg (beaten), for egg wash
  • 1 tbsp coconut sugar (or granulated) for sprinkling
  • For filling:
  • apricots (cut in halves, or quarters, quantity depends on their size)
  • 3 tbsp coconut sugar (or granulated)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • Note: 1 cup = 240 ml. Make sure your butter is very cold, you can put it in the freezer about 10-15 minutes before using.
Preparation
  1. To make the crust, whisk the flour, sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add cold butter (cut in cubes) and work with your hands until you get a crumbly mixture.
  3. Add ¼ cup very cold water stirring with fork.
  4. Gently knead the dough until it all gets well combined.
  5. If needed, add another ½ tbsp cold water.
  6. Shape the dough into a ball, flatten it into a thick disc, wrap in plastic foil and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
  7. To prepare the filling, mix all the filling ingredients in a mixing bowl and set aside.
  8. Preheat oven to 190 C / 374 F and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  9. On a lightly floured surface roll the dough into a circle. Transfer it to prepared baking tray. (You can also roll the dough directly on the baking paper and transfer it all together to the baking tray).
  10. Place the prepared filling into the centre of the dough (not the fruit juices if there are some).
  11. Gently fold the edges of the dough over the fruit, press gently to seal the edges.
  12. Brush the crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar.
  13. Bake for 25-30 min or until the crust gets golden brown.
  14. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. You can serve it with vanilla ice cream on the side. Enjoy!

Hi! I’m Lili and I’m so happy
to welcome you on my blog!

First things first. Why Travelling oven you’re wondering? Well, when this blog was created I had been living as an expat for about 8 years in beautiful countries like Scotland, Kazakhstan, Switzerland, Turkey...READ MORE...

Here are some photos from Plitvice lakes to wish y Here are some photos from Plitvice lakes to wish you all a good week! ☺️❄️❄️❄️ If you (like myself) are getting really tired of all this pandemic situation and limitations it has put on our life and freedom, try just focusing on today, taking it one step at a time and look for comfort and hope in nature whenever you can. It has always been my wish to live closer to nature and now I'm longing for it more than ever before...

The last few days since I came back to Zagreb I mo The last few days since I came back to Zagreb I mostly spent doing admin stuff and buying groceries (my fridge was totally empty!) and for breaks I did yoga and re-edited some older photos. So here’s one of them from beautiful winter @plitvicelakesnp, hope you like it...🦆❄️

After three weeks in Dubrovnik, the time has come After three weeks in Dubrovnik, the time has come for me to return to Zagreb. Besides the pandemic reality, in these weeks we had horrible earthquake in Croatia that took lives, destroyed homes and left the whole country in the state of shock. On a personal level we had to face death in the family due to Covid and if somebody tells me ever again that 'they would have died anyway because they were old" I will really lose it!! My little niece and nephew lost their grandmother and we all lost a person we loved. So, it was and still is a difficult time but life taught me many times before that we are stronger than we think and that the most important thing is to find peace within yourself. I still wake up every morning grateful for life, for my people, for photography, for all the little things that make life beautiful. And I dream about all the good things that will come our way... 
Sending you my love and positive thoughts and sharing these not so typical Dubrovnik photos.❤️

I know it's not the most colourful and bright phot I know it's not the most colourful and bright photo for this occasion but it represents what this year has been like for me personally. Difficult, lonely, at times very dark but at the same time with its sweet moments that I get to keep forever in my heart, beauty found in 'ordinary' and sparkles of light that give hope and comfort. I wish that 2021 will bring more freedom, health and happiness for all of us! Thank you for being here with me... ❤️

My favourite moments in these last two days since My favourite moments in these last two days since I came to Dubrovnik are baking ‘orahnjaca’ (Croatian) or ‘potica’ (Slovenian), traditional walnut cake with my mum, harvesting mandarins in our garden with my dad, soaking up the sun that I missed so much after about a month of dark and gloomy days, reading a book on the terrace and stopping every few moments to just look at the sea... All the little things that bring me much needed calm and joy. Hope you are all well and finding your little moments too...☺️❤️

I miss mountains, snow and travelling so here are I miss mountains, snow and travelling so here are few details from the Swiss Alps, a place I called home few years ago... It’s so strange, I am from Dubrovnik, born by the sea and of course I love it but I would choose mountains and forests anytime! It's where my soul is at peace and happiest.☺️❄️How about you?

Drinking hot chocolate and eating gingerbread cook Drinking hot chocolate and eating gingerbread cookies like I don't have a worry on my mind! Yeah right...😅
By the way, only when I started editing I noticed that the bubbles in my hot chocolate formed a shape of heart too. That's kind of sweet..☺️ So I'm sending some love to all of you too! ❤️

Comfort food is just the best! I have few that ins Comfort food is just the best! I have few that instantly make me feel better like semolina porridge or spaghetti with fresh tomatoes and basil... Crepes with apricot jam are high up on that list too! 😉 I'm curious, what is your favourite comfort food?

Story behind this image: because of all the festive photos on social media these days, I felt pressured to create some in Christmas mood too. But nothing was going as I imagined and I simply was not feeling it. So I decided to put all that away and create something that reflects more of me and what and how I feel at the moment. So this is one of the images from that series. In the end what matters the most is that we create from our heart.✨
